How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a mini supermoto, it blends a motocross-derived chassis with street-oriented wheels and brakes for playful, tight-radius cornering on tarmac and light trail use.
- Built for
- Nimble, flickable, and eager to be thrown into corners, this bike rewards an aggressive, playful riding style rather than outright straight-line speed.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right bike for highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger, or riders seeking strong outright performance.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
